Welcome to First Class Bridge Academy
Jenny Pateman R.I.P

Jenny played at the club for many years until about 2018 so many of you will remember her. She was always keen to improve her bridge and always enjoyed it. Jenny always had a radiant smile on her face even if a hand went badly!

Jenny's funeral is on Friday 15th May at 3pm.
The North Chapel, Chelmsford Crematorium CM1 3WQ.

If anyone needs a lift I will be going.

First Class Bridge Academy and Club

Welcome to the website of First Class Bridge

We have just moved up to the 23rd busiest club in England 

There is bridge played at Barleylands every day from Monday to Saturday catering for every level from complete beginners to the very highest echelon of bridge players. Most sessions are hosted so you can just turn up and play without a partner.

There are regular starter courses for complete beginners and a number of supervised bridge sessions for those wishing to go to the next level.
